Oceanfront Townhouse steps to the Beach
Great beach access…the unit was very clean. Had a view of ocean and felt safe in neighborhood. Was not but a block or two from shops. Overall thought unit was a little larger but it was sufficient for the 3 of us. We had a nice time!

Fanta-Sea in Emerald Isle
Our family had a wonderful time. The space was extremely clean and fit the description in the listing and photos. The space is located in a quiet, gated community with lots of wonderful amenities and just a short walk to the beach via private access. Cathy was a wonderful host and was flexible with us during our stay. We’d love to come back for another visit soon!

New! Oceanfront 2bd/2ba - Penthouse View!
We enjoyed our stay here! The beach supplies were amazing, and we had everything we needed for traveling with our toddler. One thing to note is you do have to put the sheets on the beds yourself. That wasn’t clear in the listing, and we waited until we were exhausted to do it later that night which wasn’t very fun. But very minor action in what was a wonderful family vacation with great views!

Blue Heron Shack
My husband, daughter and pet dog Mocha enjoyed our stay. We very much enjoyed visiting the Shackleford Banks and seeing the wild horses and dolphins. My daughter and I spent some time on their dock our last night and it was very peaceful, I only wish we took advantage of that more as well as maybe kayaking over to the little island across the way. My only fall back was I kept bumping my head on the walls of the apartment but I was the only one that had the issue, my husband ( who is taller) and daughter did not. Most likely my very own perception issue😜

Gone Coastal - 2BR/2BA Condo— Ocean & Sound Views!
To start I saw another review upset the view of the ocean wasn’t accurate. I’d like to say it’s totally completely visable and so nice to sit and drink coffee on and listen to the waves in the morning and evening. We will be booking here again! It was spotless and spacious! Loved the amount of beds and TVs for down time with kiddos. The balcony was so fun to hang out on! Less than 5 minute walk to the beach! Showers down at beach! Pool was SO cute love that the normal pool and kiddie pool are RIGHT beside each other. The kiddie pool is fenced seperate which as a mom of multiple is 🙌🏼 HUGE!! Close to fort Macon and cool shops! Very close to coffee, food lion bojangles and Walmart is only 18 min away! Splash pad very close as well!No elevator but the steps keep ya in shape and the kids loved going up and down them and up and down the hallways. No noisy neighbors very well kept up place! Loved the minimalist feel with decor kept it feeling very spacious! 2 full bathrooms! Easy clean up

Beach, Please!
Shari was very nice, responded in a timely manner. We even left our swim suits in the dryer & she has been so kind helping get them back to us! Beautiful place! Would definitely recommend her place & would love to come back!

Bogue Banks Retreat
We loved this place. It was clean, comfortable, it had everything that we needed, it’s walking distance to nice places to eat and drink, that are right on the water and it has a pool!!!

Pet friendly 1 bedroom unit with a view!
perfect place to visit with pets. easy in and out and walkable to all the fun Beaufort locations and great restaurants.

Light and Bright at Pook's Place - Bring the Pups!
This was our first time in Atlantic Beach and we all really liked it and would like to come back. We would gladly stay at this property again. It is in a quiet, private location, yet very close to the action. We were very comfortable with the size and furnishings. The owner even arranged a sign and balloons in the kitchen wishing us a happy anniversary. The back decks and yard were great for our dogs. We like things as quiet and uncrowded as possible, so we went to the beach at the New Bern Street public access point. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower. Once you are on the actual beach, you can only see big beach houses and no businesses, hotels or condos. We also enjoyed the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, and Cape Lookout National Seashore, and highly recommend both. Having a Dollar General right down the street was very convenient, and there is a Food Lion not far down the road. There are also plenty of beach/souvenir shops close by. Many thanks to Aaron for a great stay.

Waterfront with dock, Hottub, 3 miles to beach
This was the perfect place to enjoy a day after the beach while celebrating my husband’s birthday. Lots of beautiful wildlife and a great view. The hot tub was perfect and you can never go wrong with being able to swim off the dock and shower off the sand outdoors. The coffee bar was an added bonus. We loved the remote control boxes, might be an idea we implement in our home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you Jonathan for hosting us!

Sound Side Cheerful 4BR Home In the Heart of MC
This is the second time my family has stayed here. It has everything we need, very comfortable and clean. Nice neighborhood to walk to the park and sit by the water. We live it here!

Not Your Typical Beach Rental Fully Stocked House
We had a wonderful stay at Michael’s AirBnb. The home is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, and family/kid friendly (gates at stairways, small kids table in kitchen, some toys, etc.). It is a very short and easy walk to the private beach. The location is also a short drive to Fort Macon (5 min), the Atlantic Beach Town Park (<10 min), and beach stores and restaurants. Michael is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend this home and would definitely look into staying there again!

Wipe Your Feet Retreat (New, Water Views, Pets)
The home was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was excellent—convenient and quiet, making it a great home base for our trip. Amenities matched the description, and everything functioned as expected. That said, the beds were not very comfortable, and the pillows were quite flat and inexpensive—if you're particular about sleep quality, I’d recommend bringing your own pillow. Overall, a pleasant stay with just a few areas that could be improved for guest comfort.

Serenity in Pine Knoll Shores.
We loved staying here! It was close to everything, but in a really nice quiet location. The house was clean and well stocked. The disco ball was a fun touch! Chris was extremely responsive and was super easy to work with. We highly recommend this property!!

Quaint Cottage with Spectacular Views
The cottage was comfy, cozy. The porch is screened in and my favorite part was sipping coffee early in the morning listening to the birds and the surf. It was very clean and well appointed. If you want to cook, plan to stop at a grocery store on your way for provisions. There’s a small convenience/grocery store on the island with limited options. Didn’t bother us, just have to plan for it. Blue Ocean Market in Morehead City had great fresh fish options, fresh wahoo was delish!

Beachside Escape w/ Heated Pool | Family- Friendly
Great place, close to the beach (5 minute walk) and excellent host. The real gem was the pool. Very convenient location to everything in Emerald Isle but also private enough that we weren’t bothered by noise or neighbors. Family friendly house that we’d definitely consider again. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Oceanside King Bedroom Condo - Private Pools!
We loved staying here! Great location near the beach and in a private area. Everyone we saw was extremely friendly. The indoor/outdoor pools were another perk. Overall, we had a great time and would love to come back in the future! The condo was right at the beginning of Emerald Isle before going further to the area where there are more tourists-Which we thought was another plus. Thank you!!!

Oceanfront - Sunshine Over The Dunes
We totally enjoyed our trip and this unit we stayed in. Views and beach absolutely beautiful. Unit was open, clean and decorated beautifully.

Oceanfront First-Floor Condo with Stunning Views
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning beachfront Airbnb in North Topsail Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves and sipping coffee on the private deck as the sun rose over the water felt like a dream. The apartment itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated, with a cozy coastal vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the living space was ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun.

The Lookout: Tranquil Beachfront Condo
Absolutely amazing stay. The place was awesome and so were the views. Alan was the perfect host. Gave us great recommendations and responded insanely quick. 10/10 would recommend anyone to stay here!

Serenity by the Sea, cozy beachfront with a view
Great place to stay. Very relaxing. High tide is right up to the sandbags so you can access the beach until later in the morning which was fine for us. After that the beach is open all day. Highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Salty Winds of the Crystal Coast
This was definitely one our smoothest Airbnb stays. Everything was exactly as shown and the place is very accommodating and has everything you may need. The entire place is very comfortable and clean. Jennifer was extremely responsive whenever I had a question, which was seldom because most everything was already provided. The place has beautiful views, easy parking, and very accessible to the beach. And getting around to places was even easier. We also enjoyed this part of the coast the most because of the ease of access everywhere and more central location to Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, and Emerald Isle. The location made it a 5-10 minute drive to almost anywhere in these areas. We highly recommend this and will be staying again the next time around!

Newly renovated condo with beautiful ocean views!
Great place and host! Location is great and we walked to the beach everyday. We liked the overall quietness of the area too.

Cozy Condo by Atlantic Beach w/Pool & Beach Access
Perfect place for my weekend getaway!Cary was very responsive and available to accomodate flexible check-in and check-out. Great location to visit the main beaches of the Crystal Coast, super easy to find, quiet sorroundings, and access to the beach right across the street. I highly recommend!
